INVENTORY OF AOGCM STUDIES

INVENTORY OF AOGCM STUDIES

(Runs using historical forcing from the last century to present and IPCC scenario 92a thereafter (or equivalent, e.g. 1%/year increase CO2), with and without aerosols).

Criteria for recommendation for IPCC:

* IS92a -type emission scenario (e.g. 1% p.a. greenhouse gas forcing)
* Integrations available now that exist in the public domain (make monthly data accessible through Data Distribution Centres and daily, when required, through modelling centres)
* Historically forced integrations
* Documented models
* Models that have participated in AMIP/CMIP
* Integrations without/with aerosols, and up to 2100 for CO2 only runs
